The Bell
Strikes Twelve
By Lord
R.e. Taylor
The bell
rings twelve times
And the
torches fade to darkness
Spirits of
the slain and tortured
They rise
from their unmarked graves
Howling with
pain and grief
Looking for
the few who harmed them
They punish
anyone they find
Finding
the revenge, they seek
Not with desired
deaths
Preferring
to use pain instead
They return
to their graves until another time
All before
the bell strikes twelve
You Are Still With Me
By Lord R.e. Taylor
I know that you are not here
You walked away So long ago
You cannot imagine how I felt
My heart still beats
I still take my breaths
And my mind still thinks
It has been a lifetime apart
A lot of things have changed
But my heart still beats
You are still deep within it
I do still breathe
But your scent fills every one
And my mind does still think
Every thought and dream is of you
Even with all of that
I swear that I will survive
Shadows Of Darkness
By Lord R.e. Taylor
Every shadow
Living in darkness
Hiding from the vicious light
They thrive and grow
Existing in a world they chose
Killing My Things
By Lord R.e. Taylor
So many things
Not one of them important
But all seem serious
They fill my mind
Leaving no room for anything else
However, in all my years
I have learned many things
How to shut my mind away
Lock out the rest of everything
So my mind goes away
Then I spend the day drinking
So, all those things are gone
And I am better for it
Laziness
By Lord R.e. Taylor
I’m just sitting here
Not doing anything
Not even planning anything
It’s just one of those days
Nothing is important
I just want to close my eyes
And really not give a damn
Maybe tomorrow will be different
At least I’ll do something positive
I just may change my socks
That’ll be good enough I think
At least for one day
Son Of Every Son
By Lord R.e. Taylor
I am the son of thousands of sons
Each sharing part of themselves
Building blocks which created me
Slaves and slave holders
Soldiers fighting bloody wars
And peacemakers getting the wars to stop
I am part of so many sons
Rich and poor
Royalty and peasant
White, black, brown, and yellow
They are all parts of me
They are all parts of all of us
The
Beauty Of Birds
By
Lord R.e. Taylor
What’s
going on
Birds
of all kinds
Lorikeets,
crows, and pigeons
All
gathering in a single tree
Screaming,
chirping, and cooing
Making
so much noise windows shake
And
the clouds run for cover
It
doesn't make sense
No
one knows anything
Except
that it is loud and annoying
But,
it is nature and that makes it beautiful
Living A Fantasy
By Lord R.e. Taylor
Everything we ever had
Everything we ever were
It all comes back to me
All I need is a picture
Or a word sent on my screen
I know that you are still there
The love I lost so many evers ago
But my heart still beats for only you
My dreams still run wild
And I find you in my arms again
Sharing our first kiss
Sadly, it is all just a fantasy
A dream which may never come true
Then again...who knows
A Strayan
Journey
By Lord
R.e. Taylor
Say
goodbye to the city lights
Just start
the car and get driving
It doesn’t
matter where the road goes
Just as
long as the asphalt is behind me
I only
want to see dirt roads
As many
small towns as I can find
Where true
Strayan bogans live
Maybe find
myself a larrikin or two
Take my
time to hear some Accadacca
Have me a
few coldie’s
And shoot
through for Woop Woop
If I
decide that that may be a better place
Which I
doubt
I’m Still Here
By Lord R.e. Taylor
You had your chance
More than just a few
I could see you before me
Feel your breath on my face
You never scared me
Not in the least
I knew that I was stronger than you
I proved that the day I was born
So, keep on trying
I will be waiting here for you
And I will survive
You just be sure of that
I will survive
Empty Wallet By Lord R.e. Taylor I hope you never live through it A big day is coming too quickly There are so many people you love So many ...
